Abstract

The present embodiments relate to apparatuses and methods for detecting unplugged local coils in a magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) device. The MRT device includes a local coil that has a RFID tag configured to detect transmitted RFID signals. When at least one transmitted RFID signal is detected, at least one unplugged local coil is detected in the MRT device.
